Best Answer

Which syllable is stressed in the word present will distinguish its meaning and the vowel pronunciation as well.

When you stress the first syllable the E in the pre- prefix is a short E sound as in the word get. This is the pronunciation which means the same as gift. When you stress the second syllable the E, it is a long E, as in the word freeze, and the meaning is changed to that of to show or introduce.
